Meet Your Travel Advisor

👋 Hi! I'm Katie, a travel advisor with Fantastical Vacations. I'm so glad you're here! 🥰

I grew up on a farm in rural Arkansas, and family trips were rare, which made my first visit to Walt Disney World at 13 all the more ✨magical.✨ Those cherished memories sparked my love for travel and led me to study abroad in Italy, backpack across Europe, and explore everywhere from Hawaii to Hong Kong. Now, as a mom of two littles with 15+ years under my belt as a corporate girlie, I totally get the juggle of budgets, school schedules, and limited PTO, and I’m here to turn the stress of planning into pure excitement.

😎 Specializing in Disney, Universal, all-inclusive resorts, and cruises, I combine first-hand expertise with meticulous research to design getaways that fit your family’s rhythm.

🏰 Whether it’s castle-filled magic, 🛳️ relaxing on a cruise, or 🎢 thrills at a theme park, let’s create memories without the overwhelm.

Your dream getaway is just a conversation away. Let’s chat!

The best part? Travel Agents don't cost extra to use!
